This work presents a succinct review of the thermal behavior of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and its relationship with aging, heat generation, thermal management and thermal failure. This work focuses on the temperature effects that promote the main aging mechanisms in the anode and compare these effects among different cell chemistries for calendar and cycling aging modes. We review the strategies to mitigate aging, including the design of the battery thermal management system (BTMS), best practices of battery users to minimize the effect of stress factors, and the appropriate selection of the anode material. We discuss the heat generation and surface temperature variations in LIBs, including comparisons among different cell chemistries.

Novel PCM Thermal Management Makes Li-ion Batteries a Viable Option for High Power and High Temperature Applications

Thermal Management of Li-ion batteries plays a significant role in large power applications by addressing the thermal safety in addition to improving the performance and extending the cycle life. The electrochemical performance of the Li-ion battery chemistry, charge acceptance, power and energy capability, cycle life and cost are very much affected by the operating temperature.

Electro-thermal modeling and experimental validation for lithium ion battery

Journal of Power Sources, 2011

Thermal management is crucial for improving the charge-discharge efficiency and cycling life of lithium ion battery. In this paper, a mathematical model coupling electronic conduction, mass transfer, energy balance and electrochemical mechanism is developed. Lithium ion diffusivity and chemical reaction rate of cathode material are estimated by comparing simulated results with experimental data of pulse test at various current charge-discharge rates (0.2C, 0.5C, 1C, 2C) and operating temperatures (0 • C, 10 • C, 25 • C, 55 • C). The modeling results are further validated in aspects of electrochemical performance, thermal performance and electrochemical-thermal coupling effects, which show well agreement between the modeling results and experimental results. The modeling results show that lithium ion concentration gradient in both liquid phase and solid phase are greatly affected by temperature, and the lithium ion concentration gradient increase when temperature decrease. This phenomenon results in the capacity losses and power loses of lithium ion battery during low temperature operation. The reversible heat generation during charging process is equal with the heat consumption during discharging process. It is also indicated that the reversible heat is dominant at low rate discharging process and irreversible heat is dominant at high rate discharging process. Proper cooling system should be added to keep battery temperature within safety range during high rate current charging/discharging.

Design of an Optimized Thermal Management System for Li-Ion Batteries under Different Discharging Conditions

Energies, 2020

The design of an optimized thermal management system for Li-ion batteries has challenges because of their stringent operating temperature limit and thermal runaway, which may lead to an explosion. In this paper, an optimized cooling system is proposed for kW scale Li-ion battery stack. A comparative study of the existing cooling systems; air cooling and liquid cooling respectively, has been carried out on three cell stack 70Ah LiFePO4 battery at a high discharging rate of 2C. It has been found that the liquid cooling is more efficient than air cooling as the peak temperature of the battery stack gets reduced by 30.62% using air cooling whereas using the liquid cooling method it gets reduced by 38.40%. The performance of the liquid cooling system can further be improved if the contact area between the coolant and battery stack is increased. Therefore, in this work, an immersion-based liquid cooling system has been designed to ensure the maximum heat dissipation. The battery stack hav...

Review Theoretical Modelling Methods for Thermal Management of Batteries

2015

The main challenge associated with renewable energy generation is the intermittency of the renewable source of power. Because of this, backup generation sources fuelled by fossil fuels are required. In stationary applications whether it is a backup diesel generator or connection to the grid, these systems are yet to be truly emissions-free. One solution to the problem is the utilisation of electrochemical energy storage systems (ESS) to store the excess renewable energy and then reusing this energy when the renewable energy source is insufficient to meet the demand. The performance of an ESS amongst other things is affected by the design, materials used and the operating temperature of the system. The operating temperature is critical since operating an ESS at low ambient temperatures affects its capacity and charge acceptance while operating the ESS at high ambient temperatures affects its lifetime and suggests safety risks. Safety risks are magnified in renewable energy storage applications given the scale of the ESS required to meet the energy demand. This necessity has propelled significant effort to model the thermal behaviour of ESS. Understanding and modelling the thermal behaviour of these systems is a crucial consideration before designing an efficient thermal management system that would operate safely and extend the lifetime of the ESS. This is vital in order to eliminate intermittency and add value to renewable sources of power. This paper concentrates on reviewing theoretical approaches used to simulate the operating temperatures of ESS and the subsequent endeavours of modelling thermal management systems for these systems. The intent of this review is to present some of the different methods of modelling the thermal behaviour of ESS highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
